23.01.2022 It was a lovely evening at the opening of @moranprizes in Sydney. Lovely to catch up with friends and to share this moment with my fellow Murrurundian Fran. #Murrurundi #moranprizes #art #portrait #painting #headinghome @darcyandthefox
23.01.2022 Two years ago I painted Charlotte for the Archibald Prize, in my description I mentioned that Charlotte still mowed her own lawn. Driving past this evening I quickly snapped this pic. 86 year old and still at it. She is an inspiration in so many ways!!! #archibaldprize #ageless #artist #murrurundi #charlotte
21.01.2022 We had a wonderful time at the National Portrait Gallerys inaugural Darling Portrait Prize. Im very honoured to receive a highly commended award. Portrait: "Wendy Bowman" 2019 by David Darcy, oil on Linen Artist statement: Wendy Bowman is an 86 year-old farmer and environmentalist from Camberwell, in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales. In 2017 Wendy was awarded the international Goldman Environmental Prize the world's pre-eminent envi...ronmental award for grassroots conservation after she won a legal victory against mining company Yancoal, halting the development of a 315 hectare coal mine that would have consumed her farm. Wendy has endured three decades of battling the multinational mining companies that surround her property. She has been evicted and relocated, but continues to fight for the rights of landholders. You can vote for your favourite portrait in the Peoples Choice Award on our website (link in bio). The artist who receives the most votes will receive $10,000 cash thanks to the generous support of the Liangis family, founding benefactors of the #NationalPortraitGallery. Tickets available for the Darling Portrait Prize and the National Photographic Portrait Prize via our website or they can be purchased at the front desk.
